WE BITE BACK
Post-Pro-ana has finally arrived.
Welcome to We Bite Back, the first post-pro-anorexia website!
| Please check out the new book by Lucy Howard Taylor called Biting Anorexia. Lucy is one of our earliest members! |
This is the site that comes after the madness. Before we came along, there was no place for people to go who found support on pro-ana forums, communities and email lists who didn't want to do the ana thing anymore. Welcome to the first web site designed specifically for post-pro-anorexics.
We represent a worldwide virtual network of people proactively seeking recovery and happiness with the same dedication that proanas apply to seeking lower goal weights. We are striving to Postmodernize the online eating disorder community by challenging the pro-ana metanarrative.
Have thinspiration pictures lost all appeal? Maybe you just want them to lose their grip on you. Want a roadmap to recovery? It isn't impossible if you have a support network! Find bulimic behavior returning like a bad habit? You might find a verbal, written purge helps you deal with the seed of the problem motivating your disordered eating habits. Wonder what it would be like to finally not be punishing yourself for punishing yourself in an endless cycle?
Stop shaming yourself for seeking support on eating disorder forums, and instead seek out one that strives to remain positive! We've got our wits, and we can take control of our lives by making better choices for ourselves. Sign up and read for yourself how many people are turning their lives around. Choose to be a success story yourself.
Choice is powerful.
Anorexic behaviors will give you a false feeling of control initially, dulling your emotions and distracting you from stress, but you eventually lose your control to your eating disorder. On this site, we regain control by mutually encouraging one another to get better instead of worse. We are formulating an Essays section, writing and posting post-ana post-it notes worldwide [See the map and various post-its here.], creating recovery-themed videos, and above all building an empowering support network of people who are ready to give life and health a chance.
(Recovery
= life.)
So what are you waiting for? What are you afraid of?
Tell Ana
to go suck a lemon, and begin your recovery by biting back!
Us Oranges are collectively defining a more sustainable,
healthier
standard of beauty. Join the fight. You don't have to do it alone! Together, we can all
bite back!
